The Crown argued that Afowerk was being held against his will at an auto body shop and lied to his captors about having the money.
Two days before, Afowerk’s remains were discovered by a rural highway west of the city. The bodies of Pfeiffer, Fox and Ear were found shot to death at a suburban construction side inside his burned-out car. Jurors deliberated for nearly three days and more than 70 Crown witnesses testified during the six-week trial, which Holtby described as a “journey into the heart of darkness.”“I have a lot of respect for all juries and I wasn’t surprised that they were taking that long to go through the evidence. It was very complicated,” Holtby said after the verdict.
